Newcastle kick off this season's FA Cup campaign at St. James' Park
this afternoon
when they host the Cherries in a
Third Round tie.
It's a non-televised 3pm kick-off and
if the scores are level after 90 minutes, 30 minutes of
extra time will follow ahead of a penalty shootout if
required.
The winners will take their place in the Fourth Round draw,
staged before the Liverpool versus Barnsley Third Round tie
kicks off at 7.45pm on Monday.
FA Cup scheme members should have had their ticket loaded to
their online season ticket, unless informed otherwise.
Football Bobbles will have a
stall outside the Trent House from Noon. Card payments accepted.
(They'll also be there v Manchester City on Tuesday).
Team: Fabian Schar is the latest addition to an injury
list that includes Dan
Burn, Jamaal Lascelles, Emil Krafth and William Osula. The
fitness of Anthony Elanga is unclear.
Speaking to the media on Friday, Eddie Howe confirmed that
Fabian Schar had sustained ankle ligament damage against
Leeds but there was no break.
Howe also confirmed that Lascelles may make a permanent
departure this month, that a proposed loan exit for Alex
Murphy is on hold and that recalling Matt Targett from his
loan at Boro remains an option. The latter will be cup-tied
if he appears for them in the FA Cup on Saturday.
There's no formal return date for Dan Burn but it sounds as
if he'll be involved in the not-too distant future.
Coral rate this tie as
follows (in 90 minutes):
NUFC win 3/4
The draw 3/1
AFCB win 10/3

AFCB:
Justin Kluivert, Ben Gannon-Doak, Tyler Adams, Ryan Christie
and William Dennis miss out with Evanilson and Enes Unal
both doubtful. Antoine Semenyo has completed
his move to Manchester City.
Free agent and former Magpie goalkeeper Fraser Forster
has joined the Cherries for the remainder of the
season.
Ahead of their trip to Tyneside, Andoni Iraola's side ended
their eleven game winless run in the Premier League with a
3-2 home win over Spurs.
The Cherries reached the Quarter-finals of the FA Cup last
season, having also made the last eight in 2021. Between
those though came a trio of exits at the hands of lower
league opponents - including non-league Boreham Wood.
Referee: Thomas Bramall - second Magpies posting of the
season for the Sheffield whistler, following last month's
2-2 PL home draw with Spurs.

Stats:
Newcastle and Bournemouth drew 0-0 at the Vitality Stadium in the Premier League
last September, Andoni Iraola's side due on Tyneside for the
return this April.

Newcastle ran out 2-0 winners on Tyneside during January 1973, drawing 0-0 down in
Dorset in January 1992 and then losing the replay on penalties after a 2-2
draw that followed an earlier abandonment at SJP due to fog.

PL2:
Second string setback
Newcastle U21s 0
Boro U21s
1
Frankie Coulson's late effort was enough to give the
Teessiders all three points at a freezing Whitley Park on
Friday, as Newcastle U21s made a losing start to 2026.
Boro almost made a lightning start when Layton Campell bore
down on home 'keeper Adam Harrison in the first minute and
saw the ball rebound off him but veer narrowly off target.
That was the first of a succession of inaccurate shots from
the visitors, before Rio Patterson-Powell's free kick looked
destined for the top corner before Harrison intervened.
United created some chances of their own, but Kacey
Wooster's shot midway through the opening period lacked
power and a Matheos Ferreira effort from the left flank on
the half hour flew harmlessly past the far post.
Kyle Fitzgerald then earned a booking early in the second
half after going to ground in the Boro box in a vain search
for a penalty after over-running the ball.
The chances of a goal for either side looked to have gone
when a counter-attack by visiting substitute Daniel James
ended with Sonny Finch hitting a post on 75 minutes.
Boro got a belated reward though, when an 85th minute free
kick into the United box by Oliver Samuels reached an
offside-looking Coulson, who finished from close range.

Leo Shahar and Sean Neave weren't involved due to potential
first team duty on Saturday, while Ben Parkinson has been
linked with a departure to Falkirk.
Departure:
Bairns take Ben
Scottish Premiership side Falkirk have completed the
permanent signing of Newcastle reserve forward Ben
Parkinson for an undisclosed figure.
The 20 year-old has signed a two and a half year contract
and could be involved when his new club host St.Mirren on
Saturday if the relevant clearances are secured.
England youth international "Parky" came through United's
academy to make his reserve bow in 2022. Several senior
friendly appearances were then followed by what was his sole
first team outing - coming off the bench in a 0-2 Premier
League loss at Bournemouth in November 2023
An ankle issue restricted his availability for last season
but he ended as U21s top scorer with 12 in all competitions.
A broken bone in his foot then blighted the current campaign
for Ben, delayed his involvement until last November.
U18s:
Snow go for youngsters
Winter weather conditions in Lancashire have led to the
postponement of Newcastle's U18 Premier League match against
Blackburn Rovers at Brockhall today.
No new date has been announced as yet.

Carabao Cup:
Manchester City
(h)
The Magpies are in Carabao Cup Semi-final first leg
action on Tuesday, against Manchester
City.
It's an 8pm kick-off at SJP live on ITV1 and Sky
Sports.
The Citizens were allocated 4,893 places.
Both sides entered in the Third Round of this season's
competition as a consequence of their Champions League
involvement.
Eddie
Howe's side have defeated Bradford City (4-1), Spurs (2-0)
and Fulham (2-1) on Tyneside as they attempt to defend the
trophy they lifted at Wembley last March.
Pep Guardiola meanwhile oversaw away wins at Huddersfield
Town (2-0) and Swansea City (3-1) before seeing off
Brentford (2-0) at the Etihad Stadium.
Two goals from Harvey Barnes gave the Magpies a 2-1 success
over City in the PL at SJP back in November.

MCFC:
Broken leg victim Josko Gvardiol has joined
fellow defenders Ruben Dias and

the AFCON Finals with Egypt and Algeria respectively.
Although he appeared for Bournemouth in an earlier round of
this season's Carabao Cup, new signing Antoine Semenyo is
eligible to play against us.
Ahead of their visit to Tyneside, City host Exeter City in
the FA Cup on Saturday having drawn each of their last three
games - all in the Premier League.
Referee: Chris Kavanagh - the Lancashire-based official
returns to Gallowgate for the third time this season, having

ST holders have 24
hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to
buy.
Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications
received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a
ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.
The purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty
point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above
that point division get a couple of hours head start.
Note that emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify because of your points total, just log
on and complete your purchase regardless.
Tickets not bought by successful applicants within 48 hours are offered
to unsuccessful applicants with the next highest loyalty points total. NUFC contact them directly.
Friends and family groups remain, travel groups and away season tickets are

On This Day in History |
|
10th January |
|
Born Or Died:
1945 Death of
Tony Whitson. (1905-19)
A member of the 1910 and 1911 FA Cup final teams,
Tony was born in South Africa and living in the Walker area of Newcastle at
the time of his death.
1965 Paul Sweeney born, Glasgow, Scotland. (1989-90)
Left-sided full back/ midfielder signed from Raith Rovers for
£100K in March 1989 by Manager Jim Smith as he overhauled his squad ahead of
impending relegation and the departure of more experienced players.
Debuting from the bench in a 1-0
loss to Southampton at The Dell a month later, Paul started the following
campaign at left back before making way for Mark Stimson.
After one unsuccessful attempt at gaining promotion, Sweeney began the
following season in the side but made what was to be his final senior appearance in a
1-2 defeat at Hull City in
November 1990.
Leaving United for St.Johnstone soon after, Paul struggled to remain
fit and made just a handful of appearances for the Perth side.
Joining Gateshead in 1993, he had another brief stab
at playing in the Football League with Hartlepool United before winding down
his career at Durham City, Morpeth Town and South Shields.
1981 James Coppinger born, Middlesbrough. (1998-2002)
Forward signed from Darlington by Kenny Dalglish in March 1998
in a £500K joint deal along with fellow teenager Paul Robinson.
Given his first team chance by Ruud Gullit in pre-season friendlies ahead of
the 1999/00 season, James (initially known as Jamie) responded with three goals
before Bobby Robson took over from the Dutchman.
March 2000 saw him swap our reserves for Hartlepool United's first
team, netting against Barnet on his fourth tier debut.
Back at SJP, Coppinger was rewarded for a goal-laden reserve pre-season withhis sole competitive senior United
outing; the final eleven
minutes of a 2-0 home win over Spurs
in August 2000.
A second temporary stint at Victoria Park in 2002 coincided with the expiration of
his contract at Gallowgate and James then agreed a two year deal with Exeter
City.
Joining Doncaster Rovers on a free transfer in 2004, League One playoff success
came in 2008, Copps faced Newcastle in a friendly at the Keepmoat Stadium later
that year.
By October 2009 he'd made a first return to St. James' Park, appearing from
the bench during the closing stages of a 1-2 loss in the Championship.
Agreeing a new three year deal at Rovers ahead of the 2011/12
season, James kept his place in the side despite a lack of goals until
sidelined by a
fractured cheekbone.
Returning to action two months later, he was unable to prevent
Rovers slipping into League One but remained in the second tier thanks to a loan deal with Nottingham Forest.
That came in part due the presence of his former Rovers boss Sean O'Driscoll
at the City Ground, but his sacking saw James back at Doncaster by January
2013 - just as their boss Dean Saunders left for Wolves.
Agreeing a contract extension in 2016, James faced Newcastle
in another friendly in July 2016 - ending 2-2 at the Keepmoat.
A 500th competitive league appearance for Rovers followed two months later,
James marking the occasion with a goal.
By December 2020 he'd reached 650, becoming the first Rovers player to amass 600 league appearances in March 2021 before retiring at the end
of the season - finishing with a record 695 appearances.
He then remained at Rovers as Head of Football Operations.
1988 Brian Dodsworth born,
Newcastle.
(2003-05)
Midfielder who briefly appeared for United's Academy side
before moving on to play at junior level for Rushden & Diamonds.
Returning to the region, "Doddsy" appeared for Esh Winning,
Newcastle Benfield, Bedlington Terriers, Consett, Benfield (again) Ryton & Crawcook
Albion, Heaton Stannington, Team Northumbria, Heaton Stan (again) and
Cullercoats.
1992 Christian Atsu born, Ada Foah, Ghana
(2016-21)
The
last of twelve arrivals during a hectic summer transfer window, this winger was
secured on a season-long loan from Chelsea in late August 2016 with an option to buy.
Moving to Stamford Bridge from Porto in 2013 but never making a competitive
senior appearance for them, Atsu spent time on loan at Dutch side Vitesse
Arnhem, Everton, Bournemouth and Spaniards Malaga. He made a brief substitute appearance at SJP while on loan at the Toffees -
claiming an assist in their 3-0 win in March 2015.
Becoming the first Ghanaian to represent United when appearing as a
substitute in a 6-0 victory at QPR in September 2016, Christian scored five
times during United's Championship title-winning season.
A permanent deal was then quickly sealed in May 2017, Atsu signing a four year
contract for a claimed transfer fee of £6m.
Regularly in and around the first team during the following
two seasons, the departure of Rafa Benitez saw him feature
less under the direction of Steve Bruce - more often
appearing from the bench.
And the 2020/21 season saw Christian play just one
competitive game - a brief runout in the League Cup against
Blackburn Rovers - before confirmation came that he'd been
omitted from the 25 man Premier League squad.
Amid claims of loan interest, he ended up remaining on
Tyneside along with fellow discards Henri Saivet, Achraf
Lazaar and Rolando Aarons as he moved into the last year of
his contract.
Finally leaving United in June 2021, Atsu joined Saudis
Al-Raed, switching to Turkish side Hatayspor in September
2022. Making a goalscoring debut for Ghana in June 2012, he played at the 2014 World
Cup Finals and four African Cup
of Nations Final tournaments, two as a Magpie.
Tragically, Atsu died in the Turkey-Syria earthquake in February 2023, conflicting reports eventually confirming his body had been found.
Just a day earlier Atsu had scored the only goal of the game in the seventh minute of added time at home to Kasimpasa.
Tributes were paid to him during the away game at Bournemouth when he was still missing and then at home to Liverpool after his death had been confirmed.

What Else?

1914 Sheffield United (h)
0-5 (0-1)
FA Cup 1st Round
Revill(15), Simmons(60,84), Kitchen(80), Gillespie(82)
28,185
Injuries sustained during this cup tie meant that Newcastle ended
with only eight players on the field;
Tom Hall,
Tommy Goodwill and James Wilson all departed as the
Blades took advantage.
Goodwill left the pitch unconscious and was said to
still be out cold some ten minutes later. Goalkeeper
Wilson's exit would be his last appearance for the
Magpies.
1920 Crystal Palace (h)
2-0 (2-0)
FA Cup 1st Round
Dixon(4), Hall(35)
15,000
Played on three or four inches of snow, the ball "stopped dead
where it fell" according to press reports.
1925 Hartlepools United (h)
4-1 (1-0)
FA Cup 1st Round
Harris(30), McDonald(56),
Cowan(62),
MacKenzie(76)
Hardy(87)
36,632
FA Cup holders Newcastle began their title defence with victory in
the first - and so far only - competitive meeting with 'Pools.
The final scoreline was deemed to have been slightly harsh on the Third
Division (North) visitors, who had the consolation of banking an £850
share of the gate money.
1931 Nottingham Forest (h)
4-0 (0-0)
FA Cup 3rd Round
Hutchinson(59,64,88),
Bedford(90)
34,219
Former Forest and Derby player, Harry Bedford orchestrated this
victory, enabling Duncan Hutchinson aka "Hurricane Hutch" to bag himself
a second half hat-trick.
 1948
Charlton Athletic (a)
1-2 (1-1)
FA Cup 3rd Round
Pearson(38)
W.Robinson(15),
Revell(55)
53,619
Tommy Pearson's 54th and final Newcastle goal sent the sides in
level at half time, but he then put a penalty wide at 1-2.
Charlton goalkeeping legend, South Shields-born Sam Bartram, made a
clutch of miraculous saves, while two free-kicks undid the Magpies: Charlie Revell's
winner from fully 40 yards out catching out Jack Fairbrother, who
misjudged the flight after the ball bounced just in front of him.
The Addicks unusually knocked United out
of the FA Cup in successive ties - having ended their hopes at the
semi-final stage the previous March, en route to lifting the trophy.
 1953
Swansea Town (h)
0-0a
FA Cup 3rd Round
63,499
Just eight minutes of play were possible in this cup game, before
the referee called a halt due to the thick fog enveloping the ground.
The game was replayed four days later - United comfortably winning 3-0.
 1976
Everton (h)
5-0 (2-0)
Division One
P25, 25pts, 12th/22
Nattrass(5),
Gowling(30,51,60), Nulty(58)

Six games unbeaten for Gordon Lee's side.
 1981 Wrexham (a) 0-0 (0-0)
Division Two
P25, 23pts, 15th/22
6,437
The away contingent saw United fail to improve on a terrible
tally of away goals - now just one effort in seven fixtures.
 1989
Watford (a)
2-2(aet)
2-2 (1-1)
FA Cup 3rd Round
First Replay
Brock(45), Mirandinha(51pen)
Redfearn(1,62pen)
16,431
Match two against the Hornets, who went ahead before United had even touched the ball. However, the visitors forged
ahead only for a late penalty to level it again.
There was a debut for goalkeeper Tommy Wright, while future Magpie
reserve coach Neil Redfearn hit a brace for the hosts.

1990 Scotland international
midfielder Roy Aitken joined United
from Celtic for a fee of £500,000 after a protracted chase.

1995 In a move that shocked
football and forced Keegan to defend his actions on the steps of SJP to a crowd of bemused fans,
star striker Andy Cole was sold to
Manchester United for £7m, Keith Gillespie moving the
opposite way in part-ex (valued at £1m.)

 1996
Arsenal (a)
0-2 (0-1)
League Cup Quarter Final
Wright(42,89)
Ginola(68 second yellow)
37,857
United's exit from the League Cup at Highbury was due in no small
part to a gutless display from referee Gerald Ashby.
Indifferent to the constant fouling of the home side on David Ginola,
Ashby decreed that the Frenchman had dived and booked him - although TV
replays confirmed a clear foul on him by Nigel Winterburn.
Trailing 0-1, Ginola's frustration resulted in a second booking for elbowing Lee Dixon in the
face, Ginola reportedly shouting "they won't let me play"
as he exited down the tunnel.
Pitchside stewards intervened to part an incensed Terry McDermott from
home boss Bruce Rioch before Wright hit a post. The same player then
headed home late on to confirm victory for Arsenal.
1997 Bobby Robson was allegedly
offered the Newcastle job, according to reports in the now-hysterical
media.
 1998
Sheffield Wednesday (a)
1-2 (1-1)
Premiership
P21, 26pts, 11th/20
Tomasson(20)
Di Canio(1), Newsome(51)
29,446
Our game plan appeared to be to stonewall the Owls for a point. Unfortunately this lasted about a minute before
Benito Carbone set up Paulo Di
Canio for the Owls' opener.
Jon Dahl Tomasson levelled with a bundled effort, but Des Hamilton then inexplicably gave the ball away in
front of goal for Newsome to drive home what proved to be the winner.
Steve Watson shows Benito Carbone
a clean pair of heels....
2000 Goals from
Paul Robinson and Silvio Maric helped reserves defeat their
smoggy counterparts 2-0 at Kingston Park, keeping them top of the table.
2004 United's U19 side returned from their seasonal break to be
rudely awoken by Leeds - the visitors running out 5-1 winners and
scoring four times in just six minutes. Striker
Carl Finnigan grabbed our sole goal.
2007 After
warming the bench in the FA Cup proper at Birmingham, Kazenga LuaLua and
Andy Carroll were named in the Youth Cup side at home to
Norwich City.
Both found SJP their liking, putting the tie beyond
the reach of the Canaries by half time with three goals
in just over ten minutes - Carroll on target twice.
United
eventually ran out 3-1 winners to put them into the last 16
of the competition.
 2009
West Ham (h)
2-2 (1-1)
Premier League
P21, 23pts, 11th/20
Owen(19), Carroll(78)
Bellamy(29), Cole(55)
47,571
After defeats at Wigan and at home to Liverpool, Newcastle collected a point
from their first league game of 2009, thanks to striker Andy Carroll's first senior goal for the club.
Michael Owen had already struck a post before ending his own personal scoring drought, but old boy Craig Bellamy marked his return to SJP by
quickly levelling for a resurgent West Ham.
Carlton Cole gave the visitors the lead but up popped Carroll, sporting a
shocking new white-rasta haircut, to plant a towering
header into the Gallowgate goal.
NUFC.com match report
2011
Birmingham
City confirmed that they had allowed midfielder Sebastian Larsson to
speak to United over a possible transfer.
However, Larsson elected to move to the dark side instead and join up with
ex-Blues boss Steve Bruce.
2012
Newcastle reserves began
2012 with a first league victory in four attempts, beating Wigan Athletic 3-1 at Darsley Park.
Remie Streete, Brad Inman and trialist striker Jason Prior from Bognor Regis
Town netted.
NUFC.com match report
2013 United were rocked by the news that club captain Fabricio Coloccini was
seeking a move back to his native Argentina.
His preferred choice was former club San Lorenzo, but they were unable to afford
either the transfer fee or the player's wage demands.
The defender would get his wish and return to San Lorenzo, but not until July
2016.
 2015
Chelsea (a)
0-2 (0-1)
Premier League
P21, 27pts, 10th/20
Oscar(43), Costa(59)
41,612
Defensive errors from
Fabricio Coloccini and Mike Williamson gifted the Blues two goals and three
points, but John Carver's side had their moments before succumbing to a
fifth successive away defeat.
NUFC.com match report
2020 The
U23s lost 1-2 to their Manchester
United counterparts at Leigh Sports Village, despite a late rally that
almost saw them force a draw after Elliot Anderson
netted.

Carabao Cup Quarter-Final
Burn(60), Joelinton(72)
52,009
United managed something not seen for nearly 50 years;
winning a League Cup quarter-final at a fervent St. James' Park.
Second half goals from Dan Burn and Joelinton were enough to dispatch Leicester City after earlier chances had been squandered.
